vagrant/CHANGELOG.md

0.6.4 (unreleased)

• Added method to TestHelpers to assist with testing new downloaders.
• up --no-provision works again. This disables provisioning during the boot process.
• Action warden doesn't do recovery process on SystemExit exceptions, allowing the double ctrl-C to work properly again. [related to GH-166]
• Initial Vagrantfile is now heavily commented with various available options. [GH-171]
• Box add checks if a box already exists before the download. [GH-170]
• NFS no longer attempts to clean exports file if VM is not created, which was causing a stack trace during recovery. [related to GH-166]
• Basic validation added for Chef configuration (both solo and server).
• Top config class is now available in all Vagrant::Config::Base subclasses, which is useful for config validation.
• Subcommand help shows proper full command in task listing. [GH-168]
• SSH gives error message if ssh binary is not found. [GH-161]
• SSH gives proper error message if VM is not running. [GH-167]
• Fix some issues with undefined constants in command errors.

0.6.1, 0.6.2, 0.6.3 (September 27, 2010)

A lot of quick releases which all were to fix issues with Ruby 1.8.7 compatibility.

0.6.0 (September 27, 2010)

• VM name now defaults to the name of the containing folder, plus a timestamp. This should make it easier to identify VMs in the VirtualBox GUI.
• Exposed Vagrant test helpers in Vagrant::TestHelpers for plugins to easily test themselves against Vagrant environments.
• Plugins have landed. Plugins are simply gems which have a vagrant_init.rb file somewhere in their load path. Please read the documentation on vagrantup.com before attempting to create a plugin (which is very easy) for more information on how it all works and also some guidelines.
• vagrant package now takes a --vagrantfile option to specify a Vagrantfile to package. The --include approach for including a Vagrantfile no longer works (previously built boxes will continue to work).
• vagrant package has new logic with regards to the --include option depending on if the file path is relative or absolute (they can be intermixed):
  • Relative paths are copied directly into the box, preserving their path. So --include lib/foo would be in the box as "lib/foo"
  • Absolute paths are simply copied files into the root of the box. So --include /lib/foo would be in the box as "foo"
• "vagrant_main" is no longer the default run list. Instead, chef run list starts empty. It is up to you to specify all recipes in the Vagrantfile now.
• Fixed various issues with certain action middleware not working if the VM was not created.
• SSH connection is retried 5 times if there is a connection refused. Related to GH-140.
• If http_proxy environmental variable is set, it will be used as the proxy box adding via http.
• Remove config.ssh.password. It hasn't been used for a few versions now and was only kept around to avoid exceptions in Vagrantfiles.
• Configuration is now validated so improper input can be found in Vagrantfiles.
• Fixed issue with not detecting Vagrantfile at root directory ("/").
• Vagrant now gives a nice error message if there is a syntax error in any Vagrantfile. [GH-154]
• The format of the ".vagrant" file which stores persisted VMs has changed. This is backwards incompatible. Will provide an upgrade utility prior to 0.6 launch.
• Every [expected] Vagrant error now exits with a clean error message and a unique exit status, and raises a unique exception (if you're scripting Vagrant).
• Added I18n gem dependency for pulling strings into clean YML files. Vagrant is now localizable as a side effect! Translations welcome.
• Fixed issue with "Waiting for cleanup" message appearing twice in some cases. [GH-145]
• Converted CLI to use Thor. As a tradeoff, there are some backwards incompatibilities:
  • vagrant package - The --include flag now separates filenames by spaces, instead of by commas. e.g. vagrant package --include x y z
  • vagrant ssh - If you specify a command to execute using the --execute flag, you may now only specify one command (before you were able to specify an arbitrary amount). e.g. vagrant ssh -e "echo hello"
  • vagrant ssh-config has become vagrant ssh_config due to a limitation in Thor.

0.5.4 (September 7, 2010)

• Fix issue with the "exec failed" by running on Tiger as well.
• Give an error when downloading a box which already exists prior to actually downloading the box.

0.5.3 (August 23, 2010)

• Add erubis as a dependency since its rendering of erb is sane.
• Fixed poorly formatted Vagrantfile after vagrant init. [GH-142]
• Fixed NFS not working properly with multiple NFS folders.
• Fixed chef solo provision to work on Windows. It was expanding a linux path which prepended a drive letter onto it.

0.5.2 (August 3, 2010)

• vagrant up can be used as a way to resume the VM as well (same as vagrant resume). [GH-134]
• Sudo uses "-E" flag to preserve environment for chef provisioners. This fixes issues with CentOS. [GH-133]
• Added "IdentitiesOnly yes" to options when vagrant ssh is run to avoid "Too Many Authentication Failures" error. [GH-131]
• Fix regression with package not working. [GH-132]
• Added ability to specify box url in init, which populates the Vagrantfile with the proper config.vm.box_url.

0.5.1 (July 31, 2010)

• Allow specifying cookbook paths which exist only on the VM in config.chef.cookbooks_path. This is used for specifying cookbook paths when config.chef.recipe_url is used. [GH-130] See updated chef solo documentation for more information on this.
• No longer show "Disabling host only networks..." if no host only networks are destroyed. Quiets destroy, halt, etc output a bit.
• Updated getting started guide to be more up to date and generic. [GH-125]
• Fixed error with doing a vagrant up when no Vagrantfile existed. [GH-128]
• Fixed NFS erroring when NFS wasn't even enabled if /etc/exports doesn't exist. [GH-126]
• Fixed vagrant resume to properly resume a suspended VM. [GH-122]
• Fixed halt, destroy, reload to where they failed if the VM was in a saved state. [GH-123]
• Added config.chef.recipe_url which allows you to specify a URL to a gzipped tar file for chef solo to download cookbooks. See the chef-solo docs for more information. [GH-121]
• Added vagrant box repackage which repackages boxes which have been added. This is useful in case you want to redistribute a base box you have but may have lost the actual "box" file. [GH-120]
